Strictly restarts this Saturday when it will be the pairing up of celebs and pros..... which may even be less cringe-making than usual. grin

I don't know many of this year's celebs, but nothing new to that, and no doubt I shall get hooked in as usual.

I mean chemistry between Pete and his partner, not between him and Shirley! 😃

Grannynannywanny Sun 20-Oct-24 16:15:46

Shirley commented on Pete’s impressive lifts while saying there shouldn’t have been any lifts in that dance . Then made it clear she was prepared to overlook the breach and went on to give them a favourable score. So much for the judges being impartial. Craig may be strict but at least he’s consistent and fair.

Desperate to keep him in or wanting to show support for a man
who has been unfairly accused of sexual advances to his dance partner

Anniebach Whether in your opinion you think Wynne has been "unfairly accused", the fact of the matter is that all the viewers saw his hand creeping across Katya's stomach, and saw her reaction to it. She didn't like it and surely that's up to her.

I follow Strictly on Facebook, and actually there’s not the condemnation of Wynne on the comments section on there, except for his actual dance last night. Whether comments are filtered or not I don’t know, but if the 1000 comments on the post are anything to go by, compared to comments about some of the others, I could be wrong but I don’t think he’s going to be the one going home tonight.

Obviously she didn’t like him, she had that right, she chose the
wrong time didn’t she ? Rather a disappointing partner, not
attractive, fat, no chance of winning.
No matter, you believe with the cameras flashing he was getting a thrill or perhaps more , I do not, she forgot the cameras. This does matter, not to be liked ? ok, accused of
being a lech is not ok

Spectacular and dramatic dance from the pro dancers.

Calendargirl Sun 20-Oct-24 19:45:32

Bye bye Paul

sad

Sparklefizz Sun 20-Oct-24 19:48:23

Ooh, the Argentine Tango next week!! Bet Vito will choreograph a dramatic routine.

Casdon Sun 20-Oct-24 20:01:06

I don’t understand at all why JB was in the dance off, he’s one of the best dancers, there seem to be plenty of surprises this year.

Sparklefizz Sun 20-Oct-24 20:04:42

Yes. Even the judges were surprised.

rafichagran Sun 20-Oct-24 20:14:50

I think all this talk about Wynne is over the top. Katya is a adult, she said she was not offended, respect that.
Also it was suggested by Sparklefizz that he is fat, unattractive with no chance of winning, a bit narrow minded in this day and age. If the atove was said about a woman there would be a hue and cry sbout it.
I honestly believe this is a fuss about nothing. Let's move on and enjoy the dancing. I think there are at least three couples who are worse than Wynne, so I believe he will do quite well.

escaped Sun 20-Oct-24 20:18:09

I think JB suffered the curse of going first.
He needs to up his presentation a bit next week to win the public over.

Sparklefizz Sun 20-Oct-24 20:20:03

I certainly did NOT say that!!
And would NEVER say that about ANYONE!

escaped Sun 20-Oct-24 20:20:20

I didn't see * Sparklefizz* say those things. I think it was another poster being sarcastic.

Yes, maybe that was why - I think perhaps he’s on the quieter side, so maybe he was overlooked by voters. It’s a shame I think, because I rate his dancing. Fingers crossed for next week for him.

I said Wynne was fat, unattractive with no chance of winning
which is true, I said this in defence of him against the allegations of him being lecherous groping for Katya stomach

Am I the only one who can’t make any sense of this?

Anniebach Sun 20-Oct-24 20:34:47

Perhaps if you read my original post ?

No your not 🤷‍♀️
It would help if the quote facility was used when repeating what a poster has actually written.

Apologies Sparklefizz it was said but it carried on from a quote if whst you said.

Should say of and what.

No not just you Calendargirl, I thought exactly the same 😂

So did my DH

Sparklefizz Sat 26-Oct-24 17:12:03

Oh dear! Wynne is in the news again, this time for making a questionable comment to one of the Strictly makeup team.
Apparently he compared his double chins to female genitalia.
